Stainless steel bellows are designed to withstand high pressure, high temperatures, or critical media.
Choosing the correct material for your metal bellows is essential. Non-ferrous metals, for example, are suitable for many sensing and actuation applications, but cannot be used for the handling of aggressive chemicals or production lines that place a very high emphasis on cleanliness, such as the food industry. Also for applications in vacuum chambers, such as vacuum valves, pumps or vacuum interrupters, the best solution is to use one of our high-quality stainless steel bellows.
Where hydroformed stainless steel bellows are used
- Precision bellows for volume compensators.
- Pressure- and temperature sensors; altitude measuring in Aerospace.
- Flexible connectors (expansion joints); absorbing vibration and thermal expansion.
- Metal bellows couplings; torsional (turning) moments can be compensated.
- Bellows valves (gate valves, safety valves, or check valves); hermetic stem sealing that simultaneously compensates the relative movements between the valve plate and housing that are caused by opening and closing of the valve system.
